You might think that there isn’t much when it comes to pushing. “You just push the baby out, right?” But you couldn’t be more wrong. If only it were that easy! Sometimes women are able to push their babies out quickly and effectively, but more often than not, many mothers who push turn to their caregivers for guidance on how to push and whether they are pushing correctly. Why can’t we give them that guidance and prepare them better so they can feel confident at the printing stage? That’s why we’re talking about it today with our guest HeHe. As a fellow nurse and doula, I knew this conversation would be great, full of great tips and information. And It is!
